Electric vehicles have gained attention in recent years as an environmentally friendly alternative for conventional, gasoline-fueled vehicles. While internal combustion engines power gasoline-fueled vehicles, electric vehicles use electric motors or batteries for propulsion. It is true that electric vehicles produce little to no tailpipe emissions and, overall, produce fewer pollutants than comparable gasoline-powered vehicles. However, when comparing the total environmental impact of electric vehicles to their gasoline counterparts, it is important to consider the associated impacts from the electricity grids from which they glean their power. In the United States, modes of electricity production vary by geographic location and include coal, natural gas, petroleum, nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable sources. The purpose of this research has been to understand and quantify these environmental impacts and communicate them in an accessible manner to K-16 learners. To date, only the greenhouse gas emissions of electric vehicles have been quantified in such a way, providing equivalent miles to the gallon compared to gasoline vehicles by state. Our research efforts have taken this comparison one step further by capturing equivalent emissions of lead (Pb), land usage, and water usage of electric vehicles for every state in the U.S. While useful in and of itself, this information has been embedded in clickable maps, various multimedia, and exhibits for K-16 audiences using principles of exhibit design that allow a participant of any age to understand and absorb key principles surrounding electric vehicle usage in the United States. Effective exhibit interactives emphasize the engagement of all five senses through physical activity and stimulate visitors both intellectually and emotionally. Our exhibits and presentations have been carefully engineered to convey factual and intuitive information to K-16 students in an inviting, exploratory, and accessible manner.
